Shoes! Bank! Everly’s Show! 12.11.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:19 pm  

OYB!

Ordered some new shoes. My old ones are worn out. They lasted about 1.5 years.

As you may remember from yesterday, I had to start a new checking account at Regions bank because someone had stolen a check that we had written to Piedmont hospital. I called them to verify that indeed that check had never gotten to them. I let them know that someone in their system may have stolen it.

Screenshot

Because of the change of account, we need to let the Social Security Administration know about the new numbers. In order to do that I needed to set up a log in and account online for my Mom. Took about an hour but it seemed to have worked, even though it gave me an error message.

Went by my office to pick up checks, process them and then deposit them at the bank.

K, Miles, Ash, Penelope and I went to see the performance of the Christmas Polar Express by the second and third graders at Huntley Hills Elementary this evening. Everly did a great job and the music was fun.

She had a small speaking part too.

We were all proud of her!

Because of the banking and SS issues, I didn’t work on Spanish as much as usual. Still way more than most.

Cold and windy.

Easy to run out if you’re watching videos.

Turns out that someone stole one of my Mom’s checks and tried to forge one for money to him. I called my brother to try and figure out if he knew what was going on.

Laundry.

I took my Mom to Regions bank to try and figure this fraud stuff out. We had to close the account and start a new one. Because of this financial emergency, I didn’t go into Chamblee today.

Screenshot

Washed a sweater for K.

I’ll need to get the Visa card for my Mom changed to our address.

Español! I should come in second place this week.

Bike! PE! Mall! 12.9.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:36 pm  

We got a text from Nana’s bank that someone had transferred over $2,000 from her bank account. Hackers are active! Bank made sure the money was put back. I called my brother in Texas to let him know what was going on.

Looks like my neighbor hit Santa.

Rode my stat bike 12.52 miles this afternoon before going into town.

Picked up the girls at the bus and went to Perimeter Mall. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and did some shopping.

Runkeeper said we walked 1.62 miles. Not sure that was right, but the time was.

Screenshot

Never too much Ashley.

K didn’t go with me today to the Mission since the kids don’t have any homework during the testing weeks. Listened to Don Cheto on the way home. I don’t listen to Spanish with K in the car.

Screenshot

One of the SS Classes at FBA has a gift for me. I’ll go by there soon to pick it up.

Screenshot

Keep going.

Bike! Anthony! PEK! 12.8.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:20 pm  

We found out the J might not get help for paying for her health insurance. We contacted her tax and health insurance agent. Hopefully, they’ll help us get it straightened out. My Mom has also been part of a study to help her macular degeneration. She was just told that the project that she was part of won’t cover her shots any more. They’re over $15,000 each. She was getting four shot every two months. Difficult times we live in.

Rode my bike 15.29 miles in 30:37 minutes last night.

Fun chat with my buddy Anthony!

I sewed a piece of fabric back on my blue wall in my room to keep the warmth in.

Got a nice note from my friend Chester.

Screenshot

K and I picked up the grandgirls. We went to Cicis. I also took them to Pet Smart and Dick’s Sporting goods.

The kids don’t have homework now. Testing is taking place. It would be really cold to work outside for sure, so it’s all for the best.

Keep going.

Slightly over 2″ of rain in the last couple of days.

Just keep going. Duolingo was having problems this morning. I should have had about 2K more points.

K’s Stress Test! Gas! 12.5.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:56 pm  

Personal best on Arc Raiders last night. Such a fun game.

OYB!

Cold morning!

Got up about 5:30 AM to take K to the hospital for her stress test. She had an echo cardiogram and the chemical stress test to see what’s going on with her heart.

K had trouble getting her truck started. By the time I got there, it was going again. Good news. I talked to my mechanic and he told me that I could NOT jump off another car with the hybrid. Good to know. Gassed up my car and checked fluids.

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:31 pm  

Cold but sunny.

OYB!

Español!

I realized I had lost my keys. Got an email about them this morning from our church secretary. I figured that’s where they had fallen out of my pocket.

Screenshot

Truck full of fun.

I had a fun lunch with my buddy, Rob Martin today. He’s leading teams to Central America now.

Helped the kids with their homework. Most of them don’t have any because of the testing for the next two weeks.

The girls had a little show for us.

This is funny. Penelope cracks me up.

Beautiful sunset.

One more day.

Jessi came with K and I to get the girls.

K and I did the labels and stuffed the newsletters. Dropped them off at the PO after putting stamps on them.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father!

I went to the Mission for about twenty minutes, but no-one came. 35 degree wind chill. Most of the kids are testing the next two weeks and won’t have any homework.

Screenshot

I’ll probably come in second place this week.
